Book Description
Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don’t have a text messaging plan. I paid 25 cents to get fired. Your girlfriend dumped you, your car broke down, your boss passed you up for the big promotion. Life’s not fair, but there is one sure-fire way to ease your pain–laughing at someone else who had an even worse day than you did. Enter the devastatingly funny world of F My Life, where calamity is comedy. Covering every disastrous pratfall in love, work, family-life, and more, F My Life proffers other people’s ruinous, real-life happenings to brighten your gloomiest day: someone getting dumped through a greeting card, ignored at their birthday party, or insulted by their own grandmother. Spanning everything from ironic twists of fate to down-right shameful moments, F My Life’s squirm-inducing stories are schadenfreude at its finest. So today, take solace in knowing that at least you’re not that guy. There now, don’t you feel better? Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I cried and told him that I loved him. He gave me a quarter and told me to call someone who cared. I threw the quarter in his face and ran. I waited for the bus, but when I got on, I realized I was 25 cents short of the fare. I walked home in the rain. Today, my mom walked in on me looking at a 1978 Playboy. She asked if I found it in the basement. I said yes. Then I realized she was the centerfold. Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said “That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream.”

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Author: Mark Manson
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 006245773X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Pages : 172
Book Description
She was the girl who seemed to have it all, and then she lost it all.Raised by wealthy French parents, she married her first love, fresh out of college in Miami Beach. She followed her handsome jewish husband back to his native New York, where she thrived in the fashion industry, and quickly became the "it girl" of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. She faced her share of challenges: the tragic death of her doting father, an oppressive marriage with a husband increasingly obsessed with orthodox judaism, and her first born diagnosed on the spectrum of autism.And then her world turned upside downWhen federal agents knocked on her door one tragic day, her life changed forever. Accused of internet fraud for selling jeans online, De La Mare-Kenny found herself serving a lengthy sentence in a medium - high security federal prison. She ended up doing time that didn't seemingly fit the crime. With no way out, she faced the heart wrenching separation from her three small children, the youngest, then just a baby and her oldest facing the debilitating regression of his mental disability.She tells the story of a mother's life-long fight and sacrifice for her children. The agony and the guilt of being ripped away from them, when they needed her the most. Her personal triumph both over the unjust system that imprisoned her and the many tragedies that marred her life. This is a must-read, riveting tale of the harsh life behind bars, where one woman who was unlikely to survive had to dig deep within herself, to find the strength to make her way back to her children.

She truly loves and honors them like no other. In my humble opinion, she knows very well they saved her life on many levels!What makes a soul successful in life is realizing they need to let go of the past emotionally and, embrace the lessons.

She never took no for an answer.-Dara Kaplan, Partner and Co-Founder of the Manhattan and Miami based, Wunderlich Kaplan Communications.

As a branding expert, watching Ingrid so expertly build a tribe of women that have coalesced around and have continuously championed has been nothing short of brilliant and beautiful. She is a true trailblazer and cunning marketer in the digital brand building space. To know Ingrid is to know the personification of perseverance and walking in ones truth."*"Ingrid De La Mare-Kenny truly changed my life for the better. I was immediately intrigued by her charisma, warmth, unapologetic attitude. She has helped me and continues to be such a mentor to me. Not only is she one of my best friends, she also has a huge community full of women who TRUST her. This industry needs her- her book is an absolute gem.
